Ingredients
  

For the Joshinko
  • 1 cup joshinko (Japanese rice flour) This is the star of the show! It gives your dish that unique texture.
  • 1/4 cup water Just enough to bring everything together smoothly.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt A little seasoning goes a long way in elevating the flavors.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Non-Stick Skillet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the joshinko and salt, giving it a good stir to mix the dry ingredients.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky.
  3. Step 3: Divide the dough into small portions and shape them as you like—flat discs or small balls work great!
  4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease the skillet to prevent sticking.
  5. Step 5: Cook each portion for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly golden and cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Enjoy them as they are, or with a dipping sauce of your choice!

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over low heat or freeze them for up to a month.
